"Some of the sources and methods used to develop some of the intelligence exposed by Mr. Pollard not only remain classified but are still in use by the intelligence community today," senior American intelligence official tells U.S. Parole Commission.

The American intelligence community supports
the continuation of strict parole conditions for Jonathan Pollard, the
Israeli spy who was freed last November after serving three decades in
U.S. federal prison, The Daily Beast reported on Tuesday.

In declarations filed with the U.S. Parole
Commission last Friday, a number of senior U.S. intelligence officials
said Pollard still poses a national security risk if left unmonitored.

"Some of the sources and methods used to
develop some of the intelligence exposed by Mr. Pollard not only remain
classified but are still in use by the intelligence community today,"
Jennifer L. Hudson, a senior official in the Office of the Director of
National Intelligence, said in a written statement.

Pollard's lawyers have appealed against his parole
conditions, which include GPS tracking of Pollard's movements with an
electronic ankle bracelet and monitoring of his personal computer and
online activities.
